Veil Of Janki Bai
Charlotte Moraga - renowned Kathak artist and choreographer, and Alka Raghuram co-direct Veil Of Janki Bai, a Kathak dance-drama and multimedia performance inspired by the life and legacy of one of Hindustani music’s earliest recorded female artists, Janki Bai, AKA Chappan Churi (one with fifty-six gashes) referring to the 56 scars from cuts on her face. It is not clear how she got the scars, but what is known is that she was a pioneer and a great artist.
Alka Raghuram’s multimedia comprises three short films that act as a “Sutradhar” (Narrator) for the performance, giving it a narrative structure.
